Stefano Bernardin - Hamlet – one man show

Everyone knows him, Shakespeare's prince with the skull in hand. Everyone knows his words "To be or not to be." But who is Hamlet really? What does he want? And who prevents him from achieving it? Hamlet and all his adversaries are embodied here by just one actor. One actor plays all the roles? Or is it a Hamlet who plays everything? That is the question here. Hubsi Kramar and Stefano Bernardin have condensed the play "Hamlet" into a one-man show without betraying Shakespeare. The 400-year-old work has lost none of its relevance. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" ... and Denmark is everywhere.

Direction: Hubsi Kramar

Press Review: "The beginning is the end and yet again a beginning. The curtain rises at the Akzent Theater. The actor Stefano Bernardin (directed by Hubsi Kramar) appears in the role of Hamlet. A freeze at the moment of the fatal sword thrust. And from there, in just a few moments, the majority of his life runs through his mind – for the audience in about one and a half hours – very dense, very clear, switching from one role to another with many humorous moments. The desperate prince, with a cheap crown, legs spread, a brash Uncle Claudius, who made himself king by poisoning his brother, Hamlet's father. In collusion with Hamlet's mother Gertrude, who now becomes Claudius's wife. Or the sycophantic Claudius advisor Polonius, father of Ophelia, Hamlet's unfulfilled love. ... And on the side, one or another line, sometimes just a word, like "presumption of innocence," provides current echoes of ruthless power games that leave (not only) Hamlet in despair. At the premiere, there were several rounds of applause during scenes and at the end, minutes of standing ovations." KiJUKE A must-see! Falter
